I can see the Parker calls, but Dieter?

I would hang onto Dieter and see if they can upgrade in the draft.

Parker... Meh... Reliability and Availability are the best abilities, and you can never count on Parker being there IMO. But I doubt anyone would be willing to give up anything VALUABLE for him.

Having the option of Parker running routes this season would be more valuable IMHO, than a 5th or 6th round pick.

Agree on both - I would keep Deiter for sure. He can play multiple positions on the OL, and is a capable backup and maybe even a serviceable starter. And he's dirt cheap!

As you said, Parker would net us a 5th or 6th in a trade, which means: keep him. As a #3 or 4 receiver, he could play a valuable role in this offense for sure....when he's on the field.

Tyreek Hill was asked after practice about how active he was for a practice in May, running countless routes.

“That’s what I do,” he said. “When I signed here I came here to work. I signed up to be a team leader and show this team how I do things. How I do things is I run hard.”

This is outstanding to hear. When lower-caliber players see a superstar like Tyreek Hill working his ass off in practice, it makes them want to work harder too. This is how you build a TEAM.

Everything I've heard/seen about Tyreek so far is even better than I hoped for. This guy was a monumentally critical acquisition, both on and off the field.

This aged well Razz

They'd have been better off keeping Parker than sending him to the Pats only to draft another WR instead of a badly needed center who could also play OT like, say, Zach Tom. (Sighs.)

Well, we ended up getting a 3rd for Parker, much more than I ever imagined we'd get...so that was a fantastic deal by Grier IMO. Sucks that he's a Patriot now, but now that the dust has settled I don't even care. We've improved by leaps and bounds those offseason, while the Patriots...haven't.
